Dutch Landscape is de ultieme introductie op het Nederlandse landschap voor iedereen die er voor studie, vak of liefhebberij mee te maken heeft. Grotendeels gemaakt door de mensen die er wonen, is het landschap van Nederland vooral een project, een work in progress, dat voortdurend aanpassing en onderhoud vraagt – al is het maar omdat het anders onder water loopt.

Dutch Landscape behandelt alle Nederlandse landschapstypen, van duinlandschappen tot veenontginningen, van zandgronden tot droog...

Whoever you are and wherever you come from: if you come to Rotterdam and want to know more about the bustling port city on the River Meuse, then this book is for you. METRO 010 is about the major historical events that shaped city, and shows ways to imagine its future, too.

Magali Reus. Rode Rozen toont de buitengewone artistieke praktijk van deze internationaal geprezen kunstenaar uit Londen en winnaar van de prestigieuze Prix de Rome 2015.

But Hulsman also shows how postmodernism's breakthrough in the world's most modern architectural country o...

How are memories preserved - in archives, in minds, in the landscape and on film? Visual artist and filmmaker Fiona Tan (1966, Indonesia) investigates ways in which time is recorded.

This publication focuses on her works Gray Glass (2020), Inventory (2012) and Footsteps (2022), key works in the homonymous exhibition at Eye Filmmuseum.

Since 1890, the Royal Museum of FIne Arts in Antwerp has been home to a rich collection spanning over seven centuries of art history; from the Flemish Primitives to Expressionists. More recently, the Museum has been enriched by another treasure by the Dutch architectural firm KAAN Architecten. Their restoration work and new design combine a contemporary allure with the glorious but somewhat neglected beauty of the 19th-century landmark. Completely conceiled within the existing museum, the new...

It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows.

Free the Map goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story: a Hermes – the gran...
